Travel time Driving time in hours (h) and minutes (min) corre-
sponding to trip memories 1 and 2 (toggle).
Consumption
--.- mpg
Current fuel consumption in miles per gallon
(l/100 km) while driving.
When units are set to miles, dashes appear instead of
a number when the engine is running and the vehicle
is standing still.
When units are set to kilometers, the display shows
liters consumed per hour when the engine is running
and the vehicle is standing still.

is displayed once the vehicle has been driven about
330 feet (100 m). Until then, dashes appear instead
of a number. The value displayed is updated every

go with the fuel left in the tank the way you are cur-
rently driving. Takes account of the current fuel con-
sumption, among other things. Range -- km

The cruise control can assist in maintaining a uniform driving style.
Moderate use of extra electrical loads
Comfort inside the vehicle is nice and important, but it is important to use them in an environmentally conscious manner.
Some devices can increase fuel consumption when activated (examples):
x Climate control system (air conditioner): If the air conditioner has to produce starkly contrasting temperatures, it requires a large amount of energy, which is generated by the engine. The temperature in the vehicle should therefore not be extremely different from that of the outside temperature. It may be helpful to ventilate the vehicle before driving and then to drive a short distance with the windows open. After that, switch on the air conditioner with the windows closed. Keep the windows closed when driving at high speeds. Open windows increase fuel consumption.
x Switch off seat heating once it has served its purpose.
x Switch off the rear window defroster as soon as the windows are free of fog and ice.
Additional factors that increase fuel consumption (examples):
x Malfunctioning engine control.
x Driving in the mountains.
NOTICE
Never let the vehicle coast or roll down a hill in Neutral (N), especially when the engine is not running. The transmission will not be lubricated and will be damaged.
